    The option of just sleeping overnight will do. But I would like the price to be a little lower because of the facilities

    A small room with four bunks; no air conditioning; the kitchen is dirty, the kettle is dead. At least the refrigerator works. Bad wi-fi connection.

    Location is really good; at least a little fan in the room, because no air conditioning; ability to leave my things at the reception before check-in or after check-out; terrace for chilling; kitchen.

    Searching for a cheap, but mentally uncomfortable place, this is your hostel.

    Bedroom looks like a provisory hospital built during a war. You never know who’s gonna sleeps with you in a room, but that’s the risk of a hostel. When I entered, there was a horrible smelling (I think homeless) person sleeping there, I think naked. The host should kind of prevent having these kind of gusts or give them a separate room. I really hoped that I would sleep with her kn the room and I was indeed lucky. But I was very scared. Anyway the room is full of smelly feet, but this is out of control of the host. In General i was pretty scared who’s gonna be my neighbor.

    Bathroom was okay, it was clean, but I was also the first guest going in the morning. Beds were okay for sleeping, not unhygienic.

    I could only connect to the wifi when I sat in the Reception and if there were not very many people in the building. The number of bathrooms available for the number of people staying meant there were often long waits to use the toilet and shower. There was no hot water in the tap in the kitchen.

    The staff were amazing. Daniel and Ahmed helped me so much. The location of the hostel was very close to Rialto Bridge and the vaporetto stop. All of the buildings in the area were historical. I also enjoyed the outdoor terrace off the kitchen.

    Reception area on first floor uninviting. Ground floor entrance scruffy and had a homeless person taking refuge on our arrival in the ground floor lobby. Later, found him lying asleep outside the property!! Our room was on top floor - without a ceiling, so felt like sleeping in a barn 😆

    Location to Rialto Bridge Close by. Spacious room with good bathroom facilities. Good value for money

    In the bathroom, there was a small bucket to collect water from the heating system, because of a leak. We had to empty the bucket every morning and every night before going to sleep. The shades, made of wood, were old and there was some spaces where the light could pass through. A mask to cover our eyes was necessary to avoid being woken up by the sun light. Walls are too thin, so if your neighbours are noisy, prepare to have a difficult night.

    The location is very convenient. Rialto bridge and fish market are close. You don't have to walk too long to reach St Mark's plazza.

    However, the only complain is that the bed in my hostel room had something stored below it so I would hit it every time I got off the bed or walked towards it in my hostel room.

    The location of the hostel is great. They also have a very nice look to the hostel from the inside.

    There were a couple of mosquitos in my room during my stay. Also, there seems to be only one power socket in my room, which should’ve housed three people. Also the kitchen wasn’t the cleanest.

    Because there was some mix-up during my check-in process where the staff didn’t realize that there was no empty bed left in the girl’s room, she asked me if I mind staying with men, which I do if there were only men, so she promptly gave me a room to myself. The hostel is inside a cozy old house, and the decoration in my room reflected that vintage vibe. There is a water bus station on the Grand Canal just three minutes’ walk away.

    The entrance hall could be a place to stay chill, the decoration is nice, but I don't think that place is well used, there were some bin bags. The room is very noisy, the windows are not soundproof, every time someone opens the door, the glass of the windows shakes and makes noise, the doors are noise. The bathroom was dirty, which is shared with many rooms so, needs to be cleaned at least 2 per day. IF it was a cheap hostel I would accept it, but, it is not, so, the quality of the stay wasn't compatible with the price.

    The location is great, the decoration inside the hall entrance is really interesting, and the door outside is curious. There is a kitchen and an outdoor place to chill. The staffs are nice. I could let my backpack there after my checkout.

    It was cold in the room - despite the fact that I told the staff about the problem, the heating doesn't work. One day in the morning we don't have hot water under the shower. We had broken power socket in the room. The kitchen was extremely dirty and just destroyed. The shared bathroom was not so clean and used - it need urgent renovation. Even the furniture was destroyed - broken chairs etc. It was rather the standard of very bad dormitory not the guest house.

    The location was good - near the Rialto Bridge - about 5-7 minutes by walk. Bed was quite comfortable and nothing more.

    The place had a very moldy smell, mainly because of the canals and the age of the building. The bathroom floor was constantly wet. If you leave the room and don’t open windows, it starts to smell like processed meats. There were no lockers, only for a deposit.

    The room was warm enough and the receptionist was very nice. The location was also great
